Default RE: FMS

Well Trogdor I flew the ugly stick today. I had good control of the plane. Even managed to trim it in flight, well after one crash trying to trim to low. I have realized at this point that FMS isn't very close to real, but I give it a thumbs up. I owe my flights today to it. Control reversal had been my problem the whole time. After a few hours on FMS its second nature now and its keeping my plane in one piece. I actually took it home today with no work to be done other than clean up and tighten some screws that are a little lose do to vibration. I had fun. I did manage a planned roll. Very scary! The guys flying with me were behind cars and in the woods. I pulled out of it but only 4 feet from the ground (not planned) and way to close to us. I wont be trying that again for a little while longer.

As for flying in the buff, just don't grab the wrong stick!
